Hawaii SB1394 reduces the minimum revenue requirement for school meals to increase affordability and participation.
Hawaii SB1394 aims to make school meals more affordable by lowering the minimum revenue requirement from one-half to one-quarter of the cost of preparing the meals. This change is expected to reduce the financial burden on families, thereby increasing student participation in school meal programs. The bill also allows for annual price adjustments based on previous year's costs, rounded to the nearest five cents, and mandates that the department provide lower rates or free meals to children based on their economic need.
